• prepare PIP claims to minimise the need for reconsiderations and appeals
• support service users to claim PIP successfully if initial claim is refused
• understand the reconsideration process
• collect evidence for recons and appeals ‐ what works and what doesn’t!
• know how the appeals process works and what tactics can be used in First Tier Tribunals
• know how to identify errors of law that could lead to Upper Tier Tribunal challenges
